It's a shame when people become so entrenched in their views that anyone else who raises concerns, shares a dissenting view or dares to have a difference of opinion is dismissed as a shill/sockpuppet/scammer/liar/etc.

No independent thought, please, people.  That sort of thing isn't tolerated around here.   

For the time being, I'm happy to wait and see what effect segwit has, but I'm still highly dubious it will deliver anything like the gains its proponents are claiming.  I'm even more wary of RBF and it's clear I'm far from being the only one.  If you're not even prepared to recognise people have concerns that they feel are justified (even if you don't agree) then your sole achievement from this point forward will be to further alienate people and reinforce a toxic atmosphere of distrust on both sides.
